  • Where are you on your long-range plans, pacing, and content standards?
11/5 Students are beginning to create level 2 and 3 questions without prompting. Each grade level has written two essays using their own inferences and Bloom's taxonomy.
  • After the analysis of nine weeks tests and grades, how will you address student strengths and weaknesses?
11/5 Costa's Levels of Questioning will continue to be stressed and implemented throughout each nine weeks. Students are doing a great job of creating level 2 and 3 questions on their tutorials and binder checks. We continue to work on self-discipline and strong work ethic.
  • How have you used your student’s scores (PASS, MAP, formative/summative assessments, grade distribution sheets) to differentiate instruction?
11/5 The tutors and I typically try to spend more one on one time with the students scoring in the lower percentile.
  • Where did this week’s learning goals fall within Bloom’s Taxonomy?
11/5 AVID constantly addresses Bloom's in the students' creation of questions and tutorials on a weekly basis.
  • In looking at your last formal/informal assessment, identify the level of Bloom's utilized within that assessment.
